Today I am taking part in the German campaign "Lacke in Farbe ... und bunt!" round 4 (in English: "Polishes in color ... and colored!") from Lenas Sofa. You can get informations in German here.

Today I am showing you my strongest holo: Chaos & Crocodiles Interrogation. A really great indie nail polish. I am wearing one single coat which dried quickly. I do not need to say anything about the holo effect, you can see it for yourself.

Have you heard of the new shop for nail art? It's Lady Queen and the site is a lot like the Born Pretty Store.

I was offered to try a few products and want to show you a set of golden knuckle rings* first. The rings are rather small in size (I have very small fingers but they are good for me). The workmanship ist not overwhelming in terms of quality (especially the little stones are not set in evenly) but it's okay for the price.

First I wanted to skip this weeks color (purple). I own only very few purple polishes and do no like wearing them. But I own one very pretty purple polish!

Picture Polish Imperialis a purple crelly polish with many extras: blue shimmer, a hint of pink shimmer, golden glitter. All in all this polish looks so special! But it was hard to show the right color in the pictures because the blue shimmer was so prominent. The blue shimmer had completely sunken to the bottom of the bottle. But a lot of shaking and placing the bottle upside down helped.

While I was looking for my favorite pastel nail polish for Specialties by My List Of I thought I would choose an essie. Most of my pastel polishes are from essie. But than this seemed rather boring and I discovered Pink-ing Of You from OPI while rummaging in my Helmer. It is such a flattering soft pink! Even the three coats I had to apply to get opacity were okay because the formula was very nice and the coats dried so quickly.

Last winter I used Juniper Berries for nail art. But I never wore this polish on its own. There are two reasons for this. First, this is a perfect polish for fall and I wanted to save it for the next fall. Second, the greyish green did not look nice to my pale winter skin. It looks way better with slightly tanned fall skin.

This polish has a great formula and is opaque in two easy coats. The first coat was neat but a little pale. The holo effect is great! Even though the color is unusual it is lovely!

OPI I Have A Herring Problemis a classic for me. The color is simple, a greyish blue. But the shimmer ...! This is one of the few polishes that actually look better on the nails than in the bottle. In the bottle only silver shimmer is visible. But on my nals I noticed also a golden shimmer. Wow! Two coats were enough because my nails are so short. But otherwise the polish is rather sheer.

I chose Colors by Llarowe Obsessed With Marilyn as such a polish. I saw amazing pictures from Maria and immediately loved this polish. When this polish was suddenly sold out I even placed a single order for it in Canada.

But then I was disappointed. Shortly before I had worn The Mighty Red Baron and Obsessed With Marilyn was a little pale compared to it. No red glow. But that was a little unfair of me because Obsessed With Marilyn has its own kind of prettiness. It's a deep carnberry red with crazy holo in the sun.

Too long I haven't worn a ANNY nail polish. Addicted To Shoes is just the right color for fall ...

A beautiful creme polish in teal (more green than blue), opaque in one coat. This polish looks so flawless and elegant, how beautiful! Even though I like teal I do not like every polish in this color. This one is special though!

The durability is not perfect, but good. Luckily this polish does not leave a stain after removing it.

How could I not love it?! It is a vibrant pink with purple flakies and a hint of holo shimmer. It is also opaque in one coat, dries quickly and has good durability. Only the finish is not perfect; it is semi-matte. One coat of top coat makes the flakies pop though.

Painting my nails is not much fun with such short nails. But fall is coming slowly and I am looking forward tp the nice things it will bring: Coziness, wool ponchos, boots, dark and saturated colors, candles and mild fall weather. So I am showing you my prettiest polishes for fall.
